Medical Weight Loss Therapy

Medical Weight Loss Therapy from Viva Wellness

If you’ve been struggling to lose weight, or have had trouble maintaining weight loss in the past, Viva Wellness may be able to help you drop the pounds – and keep them off for good.

We offer a scientifically supported weight management program designed to kick-start your weight loss while helping you to implement behavior modifications for long-term weight maintenance. Combining diet, exercise, and prescription supplements, medical weight loss therapy is a proven, effective way to slim down safely.

How is medical weight loss different from regular weight loss programs?

To achieve long-term weight loss, it’s important to make lifestyle changes to support your goals. That’s why the best weight loss programs focus on establishing healthy eating habits and a regular exercise routine.

At Viva Wellness, we recommend a balanced diet in accordance with USDA guidelines: high in fiber; low in sugar, starch, and white flour; and with a moderate amount of healthy fats.

What sets our medical weight loss therapy apart from regular weight loss programs is the inclusion of prescription appetite suppressants. These appetite suppressants make it easier to follow a restricted-calorie diet and focus on establishing new, healthy habits, thereby contributing to faster weight loss that stays off for the long-term.

What prescription weight loss supplements are used in the program?

Depending on your individual weight loss goals and health history, you may be prescribed one of the following weight loss supplements:

Phentermine

Taken once a day, this pill works on chemicals in the brain to decrease your appetite and includes a mild stimulant to increase energy.

How much weight can I expect to lose with medical weight loss therapy?

While weight loss is highly individualized and cannot be guaranteed, over 90% of the patients who follow the medical weight loss program at Viva Wellness do lose weight, at an average rate of two to five pounds per week. To ensure maximum efficacy, all patients who participate in our medical weight loss therapy will undergo a preliminary medical assessment, and partake in regular weigh-ins and metabolic testing at our clinic.
